Hey, anyone else hate the injury reporting in hockey? Malkin has a lower-body injury. Okay. Can we know if it's his foot, ankle, knee, hamstring, hip, groin, whatever? This has always bugged the hell out of me.

Announcers said what it was last night. He got a puck shot at his ankle.

Capitals won tonight, but their goalie situation over there is not exactly ideal. Neither Vokoun or Neuvirth have looked promising at all so far. I think we have a chance to put up a lot of goals against them on Thursday.

Evgeni Malkin will likely miss his second consecutive game with a lower-body injury, but coach Dan Bylsma doesn't expect the ailment to be a long-term issue.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were without their star in a shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, and that will be the case for Tuesday night's home opener against the Florida Panthers (7:30 p.m., Versus).

Malkin was injured Saturday night in a game against the Calgary Flames. He had surgery in February after tearing ligaments in his right knee, but the team said his current injury is unrelated.
